I’m not a smoker

I never have smoked. I never will smoke.
But when I saw the end of the commercial on TV tonight for the “Incredible Hulk” movie, I nearly screamed. Right there where the rating would be is the warning: “Depictions of Tobacco Consumption.”
You’re kidding me, right? We’re so fragile as a nation now that showing someone smoking a cigarette or a cigar is an automatic restricted rating of some sort?
I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I’d cry. I bet Joe Quesada is creaming himself with this announcement, I mind him saying a while back that things could eventually go this way or something of the sort.

I say, smoke if you’ve got em.
